One word that could resume my opinion of this book: insightful. Very. One thing I like about the way it's written is the repetition of the core ideas 💡. By the time I was done reading it, there was no need for me to go back because the main concepts kept coming back. This is a book I would recommend to all adult men who are either married or contemplating marriage. It prepares you or, if already married, equips you to be better grounded. And once the range of masculine containment is expanded, you become a "safe refuge" for your spouse due to the acquired ability to weather "your own storm."

Excellent and rare
Scott Austin Martin is able to articulate something much needed here and that I have experienced as a tonic and a corrective—how men need to and can learn to expand their capacity to be with emotional intensity in their relationships without reacting defensively or withdrawing and collapsing, and how this is “the completion of masculinity.” Very helpful stuff
